Our little terrier, Millie, half Border terrier/ half Cairn (possibly) and a dash of rat is keen on the old tennis ball.
We play a sort of carpet shinty in the lounge at news time where I bat the ball around on the floor with my walking stick and she chases it round. She always brings it back, but on the first return she puts it into my hand and won't let go. I can lift her up without her teeth coming out and it's all accompanied by much growling....more gargling, really. I let her win it. After that she brings it back and drops it within range of my stick. It's all good exercise for us both !
She gets a good walk in the morning when my young neighbour and his primary school daughter take her to school and back. I sometimes wonder how her stumpy, 6 inch legs cope with it ( the dog's) . She meets other dogs in the park on the way back and they have a run about, off the lead.
